I do not know where you obtained this information and do not blame you, as the paper was under different management at that time. However, I was not fortunate to have a brother, as I am supposed to be the only son of the late Mr. Emil Lasch.

FRANK DALY Republican Candidate For TREASURER of McHenry County, Illinois • On* April 12, 1938, the Republican voters of McHenry county will select candidates for the several offices to be voted for at the election next November. One of the important offices to be filled at that election is that of County Treasurer, for which office I hereby announce my candidacy, and seek the sup- --port of the Republican voterVat the coming April primaries. I have lived in McHenry county "for over 32 years, attended our public schools, was employed in the Oliver Typewriter factory for a number of years and as a clerk in one of Woodstock's retail stores. In 1922 I was apppinted to a position in the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue in Chicago, and for almost eleven years was employed in income tax work out of that office in McHenry and surrounding counties, in which work I enjoyed extensive experience in hookkeeping and accounting. In 1934 I was appointed Chief "Deputy under County Treasurer Lester Edinger and have now had the work of the Treasurer's office. three years of experience in member of the County Central Committee of that party. For the past eight years I nave been Chairman of the Committee and given liberally of my time to the advancement of the party's success in each succeeding campaign. I have never before been a candidate for an elective office other than Precinct Committeeman, and now seek the endorsement of my fallow Republicans on my record in the performance of whatever duties have, from time to time, been assigned to my care. My three years of employment in the Treasurer's office have made me familiar with its responsibilities, and I believe I am equipped by training and experience to serve the people of McHenry county in a capable and efficient manner. I respectfully solicit the support of the Republican voters in the April primaries and if elected pledge to all Of the people of the dwjpty the best service I am capable of performing.
